You should probably replace solar beam with something like dual chop. Since solar beam isn't very reliable because it takes 2 turns to charge, your sceptile will probably get knocked out in the two turns due to its lonely nature, which lowers its defense. Also, when Sceptile mega evolves, its type changes from pure grass to grass-dragon, so dual chop will get the additional STAB. Most sceptiles are special attackers, because of its high special attack, but with a lonely nature, running a physical Sceptile is fine, too. Train your Sceptile in speed and attack.
